Glaucoma, a serious disease nicknamed as the “sneak thief of sight”, happens with the raised intraocular pressure. If not treated, it may lead to BLINDNESS.

   In general, it does not have any symptoms in the beginning. After the disease progresses and commences to damage the optical nerves, there will be deterioration in vision. The diagnosis is usually made during eye examinations. In cases where this is suspected, advanced examinations will be required such as area of vision, pachymeter, and OCT.

   The treatment is first applied with drugs. The drug treatment should not be halted unless suggested by the physician. If the intraocular pressure does not drop with the drug treatment, laser or surgical intervention will be applied.

   Treatment may only protect reduced the vision that currently exists. It is not possible to restore vision to its previous state. Early diagnosis is therefore very important.

  If you are over 40, do not neglect your eyes.
  Have an eye check-up at least once a year.
